I wouldn't be surprised that a lot of people have posted similar questions in various forms. So, what did you decide, and why? For me, I am just uncomfortable with debt. I live in a house I was able to buy outright. Yes, it is a dump. That said, I think sleep better in a paid-for dump instead...

That's like on my motorcycle. While there is a safe rule of "Never finance a toy." The rate came in at 0.1%, yes, a tenth of a percent. I didn't hesitate to finance it at that rate.

That might have been me. I remember posting something on Reddit about it. My decision was to take the money out for a cash payment. I did this just before the current turmoil. Considering what is going on, I am glad I did. (I removed some text that could have been seen as political) While, in...

There is a fuse there. I just had trouble making my drawing in Fritzing, or even TinkerCAD.

A bit more information, Fuse 3 and Fuse 20 are both also powering the dash cam with no real problems. For the ground, I went to the chassis ground on the end of the negative power cable. I just unbolted it and put the ring connector under the bolt. I did this because several people here have...

About the only thing I can think to say bad about the hybrid is that it has the engine note of a stationary generator.

Yesterday I was attempting to install my Ham radio, GMRS, and APRS radio beacon in my maverick hybrid. I ran a wire from Fuse #3, the unused switched fuse. That went to a relay. The relay went from the positive terminal of the battery to the distribution block. The negative side was connected...

I drove about 60 miles to Menards and picked up some shelving parts. According to the trip computer, I got about 40 mpg on the way there, and coming back, with the back pretty loaded down, I got about 34. Even with that, I still have just under 300 miles on it. Part of it is that I normally...

@Robert_C I am printing a "Near Final" fitment copy. I am not done with the filleting, as Freecad doesn't like to work right if the piece has fillets. I decided on M4 bolts to hold the two halves together. I started with M6 and then gave it more thought. Once I am done with the fitting I...

I placed my order on 11 NOV 2024 and received it 22 APR 2025. Lariat, Hybrid, Tan, 4K tow package, no other options

I want to place several radios under the back seat of my 2025 Lariat. I had originally planned to place them behind the back seat, but most of the room is already taken. Ultimately, I may also place a LiPo battery and charge controller under the seat as well. However, right now it is just three...

Thankfully, no. I got in on that.

For anyone watching this, the mount is too wide for my printer. There is just no position where it fits. So, it will have to be printed in two parts.

I looked at a couple of antenna mounts that attach to the third brake light, like this one from Larson. However, I found them to be too expensive for what it is. So, having time on my day off, I started drawing my own. I have some ASA filament, which is a lot more UV resistant than PLA. I still...

I went over the paperwork to find it. It was something I should have caught. They forgot, and so did I, to deduct for the deposit when I placed my order in November. I am still a bit surprised that they didn't keep it.

I got an email at work yesterday. They indicated that they had accidentally overcharged me and to stop at the dealership for a check. I got there expecting some crazy upsell. Instead, they handed me a check for $1K, just a bit of small talk and I was on my way. It just seemed a bit odd and...

I am going to call this "an idea that didn't work." The person who authorizes the file requests said to call tech support. The person on that end was nearly unintelligible. I think he was repeating "What is your supplier CDSID ." That said, I was unable to clearly understand him. This is not...

I requested them for the CAD class that I teach at a middle school. It was approved. However, they never provided the password. The issue is that they truncate the email name format for a username. They then send the password to that address. The problem being, there is no email address by...

Dang! Not in my state. My 25 hasn't arrived yet, but State Farm quoted ~260/month for the Maverick. That is with a $1K deductible and having multiple other vehicles and Homeowners insurance with them.

My first car was a 74 VW Thing (Type 181).
